Fuel Oil Equivalent @barrel (Us)
Fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US) (foe) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy contained in one US barrel of fuel oil, used to compare energy content across different fuels.
History/Origin
The foe unit originated in energy and fuel industries to standardize energy measurements, particularly in the context of oil and fuel consumption, and has been used since the mid-20th century for energy accounting and reporting.
Current Use
Today, foe is primarily used in energy statistics, research, and reporting to quantify and compare the energy content of fuel oils and other energy sources in a consistent manner.
Calorie (It)
The calorie (cal) is a unit of energy traditionally used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The calorie was originally defined in the 19th century as a unit of heat energy in thermodynamics. It has historically been used in nutrition and physics, but has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts. The 'small calorie' (cal) is distinct from the 'large calorie' (kcal), which is commonly used in food energy labeling.
Current Use
Today, the calorie is primarily used in nutrition to measure the energy content of foods and beverages, although the SI unit of energy, the joule, is increasingly preferred in scientific and technical fields.
